High Speed Internet Causing Up To 25 Minutes Of Sleep Loss

A few studies have now found that high speed internet is one of the causes of sleep deprivation and have found that having access to quick connection is the main factor leading to the endless surfing into the night or checking of emails or streaming movies. Those with high speed internet are losing up to 25 minutes of sleep per night.

“Individuals with DSL access tend to sleep 25 minutes less than their counterparts without DSL Internet. They are significantly less likely to sleep between 7 and 9 hours, the amount recommended by the scientific community, and are less likely to be satisfied with their sleep,” Francesco Billari, a Full Professor of Demography at Bocconi University, Milan.”
